Poor Nelly

[kateincornwall]

Oh friends , we have had two days of terrible upset with our little soldier . Her one back leg has given up the ghost , she can no longer walk , just scooting slowly on her bottom whilst the leg is just dangling, useless . We have been to the Vets , she has anti inflams and pain killers , we have to monitor her for 24 hours . Honestly , she has been doing so well although we always knew that both back legs were seriously compromised but we thought she was coping and now she isnt . I sort of know where this is heading but cant bear the thought of it , and yet we cannot let her be in pain . We are having to carry her out to the grass to toilet but even this is proving difficult for her now . I just needed to write this down to try and make some sense of it all xxxx

Thank you dear friends for all your well wishes . This morning , she is using the leg , not as she had been doing but she has used it and managed to have a poo without help . I am now wondering if this is neurological , caused by her chiari , if this is the case then there is hope and the anti inflams will help a lot . Lots of rest for her today and watching over her constantly xx

Go Nelly!

Sending love and hugs

I was so upset for you when I read your initial news just now, but now I see there is some hope. Nelly has been such a brave little soul, she deserves the best. Maybe she just twisted her leg? Would hydrotherapy help to strengthen her leg if it continues to improve?

So glad to read Nelly's spark is still lit this morning and she's managed a solo poo xx
